Fu Jian saw that these 3,000 troops in heavy armor had faintly felt the extraordinaryness of these people, and Liu Yuetian had already become a representative of the gods in his heart, and the army he personally led was probably far from being as simple as he saw.

Fu Jian's ability to command the army is beyond doubt, and now he has military generals like Di Qing, Han Baohu, and Feng Yi, as well as civil officials like Wang Meng and Zhang Juzheng, so it can be said that the management of Hongnong County is in good order, and merchants from all over the country are also pouring in, and the lives of the common people have been greatly improved in a short period of time.

This time, Liu Yuetian immediately increased his investment again, first planting a large amount of grain and herbs around Hongnong County, and then refining 3,000 iron short knives, and then contacting the nearest Datang to exchange these knives for more pig iron, which became 20,000 as soon as it changed hands, all of which were equipped in the army.

Liu Yuetian then began to sell the surrounding wasteland in accordance with the land policy implemented in Tianshui, and this move immediately paid off, and immediately liberated a large number of productive forces, and even the residents of the surrounding cities also moved to Hongnong County one after another and started a "business".

After that, Liu Yuetian began to build a "highway" again, building a road from Hongnong County to Henan County.

The road is a big problem that Liu Yuetian is now considering, in the past, in Tianshui, there are five or six hundred miles away from the nearest city, although there is also the so-called official road between them, but this kind of road is actually a large wasteland, if it rains, it is a piece of mud, even if it is Luma walking on this kind of road is extremely difficult, for example, Tianshui to Chang'an is a thousand miles away, if the road is flat, Liu Yuetian's army can definitely arrive within five days, but in fact, this time will be directly delayed to ten days or even half a month under the influence of the road.

But to build a strong road is definitely a big project in this era, because there are no good materials, or people do not know how to build yet, the general practice is to constantly tamp the land, this process is very cumbersome, to first fry the soil, to prevent it from being mixed with seeds close to the plant, and then layer by layer at least three times in order to achieve the extent that the horse treads without a trace, but if it is not used for a long time, half a year will also be covered by wild grass.

In this era, there is a mineral deposit called feldspar, which contains a large amount of calcium carbonate, and feldspar is fired together with other materials such as sand and gravel, and finally becomes cement, and there is no problem with cement to build a solid road.

When Liu Yuetian was in Tianshui, he wanted to build roads, but Tianshui was remote, and the nearest cities were more than 500 miles.

But Hongnong County is different, this is already the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are several cities within a hundred miles around, there is no problem with labor, and Hongnong is only more than 300 miles away from Luoyang, and the original official road is already available, and it is not difficult to build a cement road under this condition.

The value of this cement road is self-evident, the transportation speed of various commodities will be increased several times, and it is also of strategic importance militarily, if Luoyang is in danger, Liu Yuetian's army can gallop there in one day, and vice versa.

Liu Yuetian thought of doing it, and immediately began to organize personnel, he gave a very generous salary, one or two or five dollars of silver per month, and more than 30,000 people signed up in just half a month, anyway, it is winter, the farm work is over, and the people stay at home without anything, plus Liu Yuetian's salary is very high, and the silver of one or two or five dollars is enough for half a year's income of ordinary people.

It's winter, which is supposed to affect the hardness of cement, but now is not the previous life, and the heaviest car can't make the cement load to the limit.

It is not very difficult to build this cement road, just burn the cement out, and then lay it according to the ratio, the only requirement is that the width should reach three zhang, and the thickness is uniform, the width of three zhang is for Liu Yuetian's latest manufacturing of the car, this kind of vehicle can carry thirty or forty people at a time.

Although it is not difficult to build a road, it is much more difficult to organize more than 30,000 people to implement it together, but there are many talents in Hongnong County, among which there are many Mo family members, these people have heard of Meng Sheng, and know that Meng Sheng is a guest under Liu Yuetian, under Meng Sheng's recommendation, dozens of Mo family people have taken refuge in Liu Yuetian, although these people are also civilians, but their ability is far stronger than ordinary people, and they immediately began to organize after understanding Liu Yuetian's meaning, and soon had a great effect.

More than 30,000 people were divided into more than 100 teams, each group was composed of 300 people, some were responsible for carrying materials, some were responsible for mixing cement, and the rest were laying according to the requirements.

Half a day after the start of construction, thirty miles of roads were paved, and if this rate was followed, Hongnong and Luoyang could be connected in half a year.

Just when Hongnong County was engaged in infrastructure construction, Liu Yuetian's spies in Daqin suddenly came with news that 70,000 elite soldiers in Luntai City suddenly left the capital of Qin and did not know where to go.

This news immediately attracted Liu Yuetian's attention, 70,000 elite soldiers are not a few, where do you need these people except for war?

If the other party wants to attack Hongnong, it must be stationed in Shangjun, which is 500 miles away, and it is nearly 3,000 miles away from Luntai to Shangjun, and most of the way is desert, and it will take nearly two months to come this way at the earliest.

Liu Yuetian immediately sent more than a dozen spies to Shangjun, and reported the situation as soon as he found it.

"Two months is enough time for me to prepare!"

Liu Yuetian knew that there were already 30,000 Qin troops stationed in Shangjun, plus these 70,000, that was 100,000 troops.

Hongnong County now has 40,000 troops, and Liu Yuetian is ready to add another 10,000 troops, a total of 50,000 troops, and Liu Yuetian is 100 percent sure of the 50,000 army.

Liu Yuetian, Fu Jian, and several newly promoted generals stood in front of the sand table, and Liu Yuetian pointed to a city in the northwest of Hongnong County.

"Before dealing with the Qin army, this Anding County must be taken first."

Anding County is about the same size as Tianshui, with a population of more than 200,000 and an army of about 20,000 people.

This Huan Wenzu lived in Anding County for the last generation, and it is also considered a wang clan, and it is natural for him to become the Taishou of Anding County in his generation, it is said that this person also has a lot of skills, and he will govern Anding County well, of course, this good is only to make the people have enough to eat, and it is very good to be able to do this in this troubled era.

Huan Wen is the same as Liu Yuan before, he disobeys Da Zhou Yang, and any orders from Da Zhou are regarded as deaf ears, but he has not completely torn his face with Da Zhou, after all, when Liu Rong was in Hongnong County, he didn't have a seizure, he just had to wait for the opportunity, but he didn't expect to be taken advantage of by Liu Yuetian's sudden attack.

Although this Huan Wen's strength is not strong, Anding County and Hongnong County are too close, and if he takes refuge in Daqin, it will be a little troublesome.
